FUN FACTS: Did you know that Labor Day was declared a national holiday 130 years ago in 1894? This is the same year that the Roby Fitzgerald Adult Center building was constructed as a public school. Labor Day celebrates the achievements of American workers. It was part of reducing hours for workers from 12- or 16-hour shifts, six days a week, to 8-hour shifts, five days a week. Possibly related, 😁 the phrase, "Thank God It's Friday," was first published in 1904 in a New York newspaper called The Independent, and the first known printed use of the abbreviation "TGIF" was in 1941, according to the Encyclopedia of Slang. 👍
We hope you have a restful and happy holiday!
